THEATRE HORIZON PRESENTS
German Theatre
During The Pandemic
- An Online Lecture
with Dominik Günther
(Germany)
During the covid-19 pandemic,
Theatre Horizon touched base with our
previous theatre masters from overseas
to see how they were doing. Young
German director, Dominik
Günther, was invited by Theatre
Horizon in 2018 to lead a workshop
called "Performing Brecht - A
Contemporary German Theatre Workshop."
His method of working with directors and
actors opened many eyes. In this online
lecture, Dominik will talk about his
production of The Good Man of Szechuan
while complying to the social-distancing
regulations. He will also share with us
how German theatre is coping with the
covid situation.
